Isn't it sad that the French have done more for Libya than the USA, is Obama answering the 3am phone or not?
France is sending "massive" medical aid to Libyan opposition in the liberated city Benghazi. The humanitarian effort comes amid criticism of the French government's dealings with authoritarian regimes. The French government has announced that it will send two planeloads of medical aid to support Libyan opposition territories. The planes, which are due to leave on Monday, will carry doctors, nurses, medical equipment and medicine to the liberated city of Benghazi. "This will be the start of a massive humanitarian aid operation to the populations of liberated areas," French Prime Minister, Francois Fillon said on Monday.

Obama encouraged the uprising in Egypt because it furthered the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is minimizing involvement in Libya because his Muslim brother is already in charge and he will not stand against him.

France is next door.

No. Screw Libya. The United States has its own problems. It's like you actually care about the Libyans; you just want an excuse to criticize the current administration.

Not particulary, all Western powers have failed to anticipate what's happening in the Arab world and are still wondering what they should do. France is only acting so it can protect its interests. The current crisis could push hundred of thousands of North-African people to immigrate in Europe, France has a colonial past in Africa and always watches closely what happens and above all there is the problem of oil. Countries act almost only for their interests, humanitarian actions aren't priorities and often hide an agenda. By the way, the US have positioned some of their forces near Libya and the American government has warned Gaddafi that he should step down. The US are also negociating with the UN and NATO to block the Lybian aerial space, so implying Obama is being passive doesn't make sense. 3Li7E: "We hate the French, the world hates the French" The world doesn't hate the French, France is actually one of the most liked and admired countries in the world, only English-speaking people, particulary the British and some ignorant Americans, have a problem with France.

Libya is in France's back yard. They're neighbors and major trading partners. We did the same for Haiti. We can't be everything to all people anymore.
